One day recently, | atteaded a dinner at
Delmonico's. The repast was truly re-
cherche. 1t was given by a sedate gentle
man, prior to his departure for Europe.
Eight ladies and ten of he male sex were
his guests. All were in full dress. Thu
table was banked with rare roses and trop-
zeal palms and ferns embowered the win
dows. The bills of fare were printed on
satin and were exquisitely illuminated.
The b~outonnieres were marvels of beauty.
A string band Of surprising excellence
filled the air with piquant music. At my
right sat a lady richly dressed and of re-
markable beauty. Her husband was on
her right. He was a Brooklyn physician.
His wife wore a Y corsage and tight fit
ting lace sleeves. Her features were regu-
lar, her nostrils thin and firmly chiseled,
and her face had the charm of extreme del
icacy. Her eyes were large and liquid and
her complexion exquisite. Her words were
uttered as sweetly and distinctly as the
notes of an Andreas canary. Her wit
flashed like the scintillations of a diamond.
and she was the life of the southern end of
the table. Everybody was charmed with
her Intellectual radiance. The converse
ton eddied suddenly to another quarter.
The Brooklyn lady essayed a remark that
died away as though frozen on her lips. |
looked at her in establishment. All her
elan had gone. The lustre had fled from
| her eyes. The roseate lids were partially
closed and her face was as pale as alabas-
ter. She seemed to be going into a trance.
A peal of merriment at the other end of the
table had attracted the attention of the
guests. The husband saw my gaze riveted
upon his wife. Leaning toward me hs
murmured: MAY | beg your good offices

as to steady my wife"

THE JUBILEE OF LIBERTY.
Philadelphia. Grand Fcte Next Nom

The progress made by the Commission
in arranging the details, and the remark
able unanimity with which the different
State Governments have responded to in
vitations to participate in the celebration
of the one hundredth birthday of the
American Constitution, leaves not the
slightest room for doubt that the demon
stration will be the largest and most i'm
nosino event ever held on American soil,
barring only the great celebration OF 1876.
The grand trades and industrial procession
of September 18th will be an epitome OF
our industrial progress in one hundred
wears. 1t will comprehend all branches OF
industry, and in many instances the adj
yancement of particular branches Will be
demonstrated by working models OF the
old contrasted with the new way Re-
quests for assignment to positions III posi-
tions in the line are pouring IN on the
Chief Marshal from every field of industry
in various parts of the country.
The military demonstration of the 10th
will also be a most interesting and brilliant
feature, Fifteen thousand troops OF the
various States, besides detatchments OF
marines and regulars, will be present and
participate. A most striking feature of
the parade will be the contrast offered by
the Revolutionary soldier side by side with
the ~guardsmen of to-day. The North At
lantic squadron will anchor in the Della
ware for the occasion, and a grand naval
pageant will form a part of the spectacular
ceremonies.
The principal event of the 18th will be
| the commemorative exercises to be pre-
| sided over by the President of the United
| States, and addressed by a Justice of the
| Supreme Court. The President and his
| Cabinet, the representatives OF foreign
governments at Washington, the govern
ors of the States, and distinguished people
from all parts of the land will be present
during the celebration. In addition to the
events mentioned a large number of Other
entertainments, public receptions, and
special features, will serve to make the
three days the most brilliant and interest
ing ever known in the history of the
Quaker City.
For the benefit of the vast multitude OF
people who will throng to the city on this
occasion. the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany will sell excursion tickets to Phila'

THE PROHIBITION AMENDMENT.

In the submission of the prohibition
oblivious of the rights of those who are
engaged in the liquor traffic, and of the
interests of localities. 1t is not pre-
sumable that even the most violent pull
verizer of the rum power desires to be
unjust, and the day fixed for the sub
mission of the amendment should
be with due regard to the rights
o. men who. whatever the Prohibitionists
may contend, are now and have been do
ing business under a license OF law. An
election next summer would be hurtful
to the interests of many more people in
cities than those merely who are engaged
in the traffic, and the election should be
ordered for day sufficiently deferred
to enable all to put their houses
in order. There is large
capital invested in this business, especial
ly by wholesalers. and it is not difficult
to conceive the losses to which they
would be subjected were the election Or
dered say for the coming summer or fall.
And their vigorous efforts at self-protec-
tion would also result in great detriment
to many localities.
The submission OF the amendment will
be an act of justice, and in the perform
ance of 1t the Legislature should not be
unjust to those who are engaged in bust
ness By virtue of warrant from the state.
THE GAZETTE has been ali along an advo-
cate of submission, and it has accommo-
dated itself in the matter of the date for
the election TO the petitioners, but the at
tention Of this paper has been called to
the considerations here suggested, and it
asks for the men engaged in the business
and the communities OF large cities the
same Difference thst it has urged for the
Prohibitionists. The latter, certainly,
have nothing to lose by postponement
of the election to 1888, and many men
and many towns have much to lose by an
cleo ton this year

INFAN FICIDE.
An Infant Abandoned to a Slow Death by

In Infant Abandoned to Slow Death by
Cold and Starvation.
Special to the Gazette.
PARIS, TEX Jan. 80 The details of
g shocking case of desertion and death
which occurred near Bisrdtown during
the past week are about as follows: Last
Friday the dead body of a white babe
about two monts old, wrapped in an old
bed-quilt. was found in Friendship
hurch near Biardtown. The little one
had been lain between two benches and
had been dead not less than twenty-four
nor more than fofty-eight hours 1t had
evidently persisted from hunger and cold
Its discovery created great excitement in
the vicinity, but up to yesterday no
trace could be obtained OF the
unnatural parent or parents who thus ex
posed their tender offspring to lingering
torture and final death. 1t is the sup
position that the infant was placed in the
church at an early hour Sunday morning
with the expectation that services would
be held and the COLD be discovered and
cared for. Owing to the inclement
weather on last Sunday no services were
held and no one was present. The little
innocent babe therefore lay there in the
cold church for day or two aud died
alone. No efforts will be spared to ferret
out the dark and damnabe crime.

CANNOT THE GAZBTTE's esteemed con,

secure an amendment to the anti-free-
pass bill? Suppose an editor with pass
already in his possession should, by some
inscrutable dispensation of Providence,
be elected to the Legislature? Think OF
it. Can't the capital Call secure an
amendment for the interior brethren that

FORT WORTH is not the only artesian
well center of the United States. an
artesisn well now being bored in St. Au-
gustine, Fla, is twelve inches in diane
ter, and is the largest artesian well in the
world. 1t is now flowing at the rate Of
1000, 5000 gallons in twenty-four hours
The well is now 100 feet below the sur
face, and it is being deepened every day.
The old idea that Florida was of coral
formation has of late years been vigorous
ly disputed. The boring Of this well
proves that coral underlies the state, and
samples of the material have been saved
at every stage, and for the last $50 feet

TEXAS is breaking up its gang of train
robbers and Boston, IN Massachusetts, is
breaking up its gang of "juvenile horse
thieves which has been stealing horses
and sleighs." Thieves and murderers
abound in all climates and sections, and
are indigenous to none, exclusively. OPP
portunities and conditions may develop
the particular form in which crime ex-
presses itself, but the criminal instinct
is not hedged by sectional boundaries.
In Texas thieves rob trains and stages,
in Massachusetts they rob stores, hotels,
banks and private homes; in Texas
1t is "stand and deliver" in New
England it is default and ske-
daddle; in Texas men suffer,
in the east confiding women and chill
dren depositors are ruined. In the south
men kill men; in the north men not only
kill men, but they vary the performance
by killing women. For every man slain
in the south there has been woman MUIR
Cered in the north. In the south, crime
is open, fragrant; in the north, it is cow
ardly, sneaking. In the south is sparse
population and boldness and freedom
from restraint; in the north, is popula-
ton, the refinement of contact and its
hypocrisy as well, with the cowardice of
restraint.
